Race Driver: GRID demo in position

Codemasters is offering a demo of Race Driver: GRID via Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network - the 360 version is up now, with the PS3 version is expected any minute.

It'll let you try out the lovely-looking arcade racer in single-player GRID World events or in 12-player online showdowns. Yes it is the same demo we told you about earlier this week.

Better still, Codemasters is giving away a BMW 3-Series to the person who posts the fastest lap time in Time Trial mode.

Just submit your fastest jaunt around the course and, once authenticated, you will be ranked against everyone else on the leaderboard. The top five drivers will be picked at midnight on Friday 23rd May, and will then compete a week later at the zavvi store on London's Oxford Street for the star prize.
